The first game of the 2nd season for the Georgia Rampage coming off of a 49-11 preseason game victory. This will also be the first game ever played in the new X League. The Rampage will play the Alabama Outlawz, from Birmingham. Eyes will be on Dalton as history is made during this inaugural game of the X-League. At an X League game, you wont see a coin toss, but instead you will see the X Dash. The X dash is a race between two players to scoop the ball up and dash to their end zone. The player who wins the dash gets to pick if his team would like to kick or receive. The winner of the X Dash also gets two points for his team. At an X League game you will notice a steady flow of music to keep the atmosphere going, no "down time". The X League also has rules like the "X Spot" for double the points and the "X Ball" which is used at the last minute of each half for double the points! The league isn't just about the offense either, it gives one point to the defense for every defensive stand, too!

Knives, knife collectors, and even a moonshiner will be highlights of the annual Knife Roadshow coming to the North Georgia Trade and Convention Center in Dalton, GA on March 7, 8, and 9, 2014.

Knife collectors attending the Knife Roadshow are encouraged to bring their own knives for sale or trade, and free appraisals will be available. Several top knife collections will be on display as well.

Highlighting this show will be a personal appearance on Saturday by Wayne from the Discovery Channel's "Moonshiners." He will be on hand throughout much of the show. He hails from Murphy, North Carolina.
